What differentiates successful marketing campaigns? When I ask businesses how they know if they run successful marketing campaigns, I get answers that range from “brand awareness” to having a “nice logo” to a “witty slogan for our company”. And I usually get blank looks when I ask, “What’s your formula for successful marketing campaigns?” In reality, the answer is much simpler than that. It’s called testing and measuring.

90% of marketing misses the mark. Are you guilty as charged? What is a USP? As a business, one of the biggest challenges you’ll face is telling others what you do. The challenge comes from the fact that most customers are only interested if what you do fits what they need or want.
